Answer:

25 goat and 15 chicken

Step-by-step explanation:

Say the number of goats is G, then the number of chickens is 40 - G as there are 40 heads and each chicken and each goat has one head.

The number of feet is 130

So 2(40 - G) + 4G = 130

So 80 - 2G + 4G = 130

2G = 50

G = 25

25 goats and 15 chickens

Answer:

A. A + B (it'll be negative because they're both negative numbers and adding a negative is the same as subtracting a positive)

B. B - A ( It'll be positive because subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive, and B is closer to 0 so it's a "bigger" number than A. so, adding A to B will make it positive)

Step-by-step explanation:

The explanations are in parenthesis to the right of the answer. they're kind of confusing, but the answers are correct.

Examine this system of linear equations. y – x = 2, x + y = 4 Which is a solution of the system of equations? (1, 3) (2, 2) (3,

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

(1, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the following system:

{y - x = 2 | (equation 1)

{x + y = 4 | (equation 2)

Add equation 1 to equation 2:

{-x + y = 2 | (equation 1)

{0 x+2 y = 6 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 2 by 2:

{-x + y = 2 | (equation 1)

{0 x+y = 3 | (equation 2)

Subtract equation 2 from equation 1:

{-x+0 y = -1 | (equation 1)

{0 x+y = 3 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 1 by -1:

{x+0 y = 1 | (equation 1)

{0 x+y = 3 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: x = 1, y = 3
